Question

Dan, Eric, and Frank are the leading scorers on their basketball team. Over the course of their high school careers, Dan scored \frac{6}{10}of the points that the three boys scored.

If Eric scored \frac{7}{10}of the remaining points, and Frank scored 120 points, how many points did Dan score?

200 points
360 points
480 points
600 points

Answer 1

so than i understand it right

Dan scored 6/10 of the points that the 3 boys scored
Eric scored 7/10 of the remaining points
Franc scored 120 points

let the total points scored note it by a P

using these above wrote we can write an equation

\[\frac{ 6 }{ 10 }P +\frac{ 7 }{ 10 }\left( P -\frac{ 6 }{ 10 }P \right) +120 = P\]

so now just you need solve this equation for P ,what will be the total points scored
and after you get the value of P so just calcule the 6/10 value of P and in this way you ve get the right correct answer

hope helped understandably easy
